    The views and food definitely was the main reason I loved this place! Service was ok could've been better especially for the price.

    Had a chance to visit here and just like most say the views are AMAZING!! The atmosphere can b sexy and grown but also family friendly. The drinks were pretty good.. the service was not the best but it wasn't the worst, don't expect to get blown away lol.. the food was pretty decent, I got the encanto molcajete, and it was good but needed a lil more salt, the beans and rice were pretty decen. The shrimp cocktail was solid. The vibes are really the draw here in my opinion. I definitely am gonna go back and try the bacon wrapped shrimp cuz those looked amazing lol

    It was so amazing. Everything was so beautiful. There's like about 16 restaurants that you can go to. They were all just beautiful Osey service was great. The food was good. I had to soup because I can't eat right now. I'm in a major diet. Need to lose 40 pounds but besides that everything was amazing

    The food was good! Loved the food and the mariachi playing. The service was super good too!

    This place was gorgeous. We came here with our family to just get out. I was a little disappointed as this place only does cash luckily they did accommodate card. The servers were very slow and not as attentive as I would like being that where we sat it wasn't quite busy at all. I felt as if they were distracted. The food was a little disappointing it was more a presentation than flavor or seasoning. The drinks were better than the food but again maybe it was what we ordered. The next time we come back I hope we get better service and the food will be better.

    What a beautiful, beautiful restaurant! My husband took me there as a surprise. Our first time and it didn't disappoint. Our server recommended I had chilaquiles with Eggs and beans & he had camarones a la diabla . 10/10 both meals ! The views at this place really are breathtaking! Goes well with great food and drinks ! And great service Can't wait to be back !

    On the left is a seafood molcajete.  On the right ... can't recall the name but I preferred the one to the right.   The sauce was delish!!!

    We were told "cash only"... They accept cards if you don't have cash. The girls at the hostess stand are adamant about requesting "cash only"...just say okay and talk to the waiter before ordering - cards should be permitted. (but still no Apple Pay). You do need some cash to tip the Encanto parking attendants. It's better to park in the Encanto parking lot. Avoid parking across the street ($10-$15) Drinks didn't disappoint, the food and entertainment tonight was great. Today's entertainment was a wonderfully talented singer @diegobzmx The red velvet cake was delicious!! If you are celebrating a birthday - be careful at the end of the song! All the birthday treats kept coming - a song, a shot , cake and a surprise!! They love a celebration here!

    Such a beautiful restaurant

    This was one of the most stunning restaurants I have ever been in! Stunning oven views all around, and everything about the interior of this place was BEAUTIFUL. We had amazing service as well. Where I was sitting was getting too bright. One of the servers saw me covering my eyes and promptly moved a whole umbrella for me without even having to ask! 10/10. Food was fresh and SO DELICIOUS. I cannot wait to come back!

    Los Pórtales de García Review It's exactly what all those Instagram reels promised - vibes for days. We weren't even hungry when we stopped by (tragic, I know) so we just walked around, snapped some cute pics, and soaked up the scene. We wandered into Encanto for some shots of the water - so dreamy it made us feel like we were living in a rom-com montage. ‍ Definitely planning to come back for some lobster because this place is too cute not to eat your weight in mariscos.

    Encanto was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was beautiful and energetic, with an old European village-style design that creates a warm, rustic charm. The architecture and lighting make it feel like you're walking through a historic town plaza. The food was exceptional and full of flavor. The only drawback was the service. Our server came to our table only twice once to take our order and once to drop off the check yet still expected a tip. Throughout the meal, I had to rely on other servers for tortillas and additional items, so I got up and tipped the two servers who actually assisted us.

    Just wow. I was really blown away! First the atmosphere is everything. You feel like you are in encanto the movie or coco! Flores everywhere. Great views. Mariachi. Very grandiose! The cocktails are fuerte and tasty! The seafood is fresh and so much of it. Charola de mariscos serves "5 people" but I think it could serve 8 people! It did have 5 lobster halves. But has so much more! You will not finish this! If you do- I respect you. Service was great. We had multiple service members check in us! This is an INSTA worthy restaurant. It had a great moment take your picture with the mirror that faces the water!

    I wanted to share my wonderful experience at Encanta restaurant. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a magical place. Although we had a 20-minute wait for our table of eight, we enjoyed taking photos and admiring the beautiful outdoor setup. Once we were seated outside, the service was impressively fast. We started with complimentary chips and salsa, which was a nice touch, and then our mix grills arrived - they were fantastic and certainly didn't disappoint! We were so satisfied that we even had enough leftovers to take four boxes home. Beyond the delicious food, the view was absolutely amazing. There were so many picturesque spots perfect for capturing the sunset.

    This please have amazing concept, with breathtaking ocean views and beautiful rustic structure. Unfortunately the food was not as great as I expected, not sure if they are known for their seafood selection or more their breakfast. Customer service super nice guy.

The building itself is beautiful! kind of castle-like architecture perched right on the coast, and the ocean views are absolutely stunning. I only had a drink here, so I can't speak much to the food firsthand, but I did read quite a few reviews beforehand and noticed a pretty consistent theme: people seem to love the views and atmosphere, but the food is often described as underwhelming. That was part of the reason we kept it simple and just stopped in for a drink break. For me, it worked perfectly as a scenic pause on the drive -- grab a drink, take in the coastline, stretch your legs, and enjoy the view. If you're expecting a full standout culinary experience, it might not be the place. But if you treat it as a beautiful roadside stop with incredible scenery, it definitely delivers. Worth it for the views alone, just manage expectations on the dining side.

The restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing with plenty of Instagram worth spots to take pictures. The service is pretty good and they're quick with clearing the table and bringing out the drinks. The food is just OK for the price. We ordered aguachile, bacon wrapped shrimp, the mixed plate, and chimichurri shrimp. The flavor of the aguachile was good, but it was odd that there was a mix of jumbo shrimp and regular sized shrimp. It also didn't seem like they allowed the shrimp to "cook" in the lime. I also wasn't a fan of how chunky the cucumber was cut. The bacon wrapped shrimp was good as well. The chimichurri shrimp was more like shrimp in butter. The mixed plate was decent, but only came with a little bit of salsa. The portions of the octopus were pretty big (unappealing to some). The drinks were great though! We'd likely come back just for drinks!

On the…read moredrive down to La Misión I saw the sign for this place & thought it was an actual halfway house, but turns out its name is a reference to the fact it's located halfway bet'n Rosarito & Ensenada. First things first: ignore the menu, just ask Chef Johnny what he's got & let him do his thing. A lot of times they don't have what's on the menu so you're kind of wasting your time by choosing. We had had ribeye with a red wine demi-glace that was quite good, and fish "mojo de ajo" (with butter & garlic) that was better. Each came with a small baked potato (just the right size) and some veggies that were OK. Dinner included a tortilla soup that I was told was OK and a Caesar salad with very fresh baby Romaine and an eggy dressing. The made-to order guac was OK, but I think they put mayo in it so the avo taste got kind of lost. The chips were tasty (freshly-made) but the "salsa" was a ton of tomatoes with a few onions, not really notable. Chef Johnny once cooked for the President of Mexico; these days he lives in a trailer next to the restaurant with his wife and cooks mostly what he wants. He came out to our table & I had a great conversation with him; he's very passionate about being happy and doing what he wants and it seems to be working for him. The dude can sing, too; he's got a terrific voice & if you ask him he might croon you a tune or two. He's certainly a character and a good guy. There's a full bar and first thing you notice is they allow smoking, unlike in the States. The room is nice but nothing spectacular, and the service is attentive and friendly. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
